In case you are still wondering what to make for Christmas breakfast/brunch this morning...here's a little help. These muffins make a great breakfast all by themselves but they will also be a wonderful addition to anything you serve with them. They're moist and have a hint of maple that makes your mouth water and warms your soul. My family couldn't get enough of them...they ATE THEM ALL...at one sitting!!

Maple Muffins

2 c. flour

1/2 c. packed brown sugar

2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

3/4 c. milk

1/2 c. margarine or butter, melted

1/2 c. maple syrup

1/4 c. sour cream

1 egg

1 t. vanilla

Topping:

3 T. flour

3 T. sugar

2 T. chopped walnuts

1/2 t. cinnamon

2 T. cold butter or margarine

In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk, butter, syrup, sour cream, egg and vanilla; blend well. Fill greased muffin tins about 2/3 full, being careful not to overfill or there won't be room for your topping.

For topping- combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and nuts; cut in butter with two knives or a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over muffin batter. Bake at 400 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until muffin test done. Makes approximately 15 muffins.
